Congradulations!
The recession is over when all of your buddys find work. I just spoke to an old friend who recently landed a job managing a brace of apartments in Orange Beach Alabama. He thinks it is terriffic, he has always been a people person, fixing the disgruntled client has been his speciality. This must be the thirtyeth job in his career.
I on the other hand have the same job I had thirty years ago. I do it well, but I am not learning much that would travel. I guess that a really good economy would offer lots of diffrent types of jobs.
